the proposing mou was not competitively bid. as city residents or by ordinance still legally required to purchase residential services from recology. recology is uniquely positioned in the san francisco marketplace. it would be i am mpractical to duplicate services throughout the city for traditional and government customers. it does not provide the rate, reasonably provides the rates increases to base commercial rates. some commercial clients have negotiated adjustments to these rates. oca there negotiated with recology on behalf of city departments. we appreciate the budget analyst the approval of the mou and lca is willing to incorporate the budget recommendation to amend the resolution by reducing the mou not to exceed amount by $4 million to $40 million. this will still allow the 1 $1.2 million for fluctuations for refuse by city department. it does not obligate the city to spend that amount. it's the amount determined by the budget which has already been approved for fiscal year 14-15. representative from recology are here

with his relatively new to the area, we started talking about a compatibility two years ago, when the mou was first put together. and caltrain project was revived because it had been on the shelf because of lack of funding. from those days we have been encouraging high-speed rail and caltrain to have compatible height in the platforms. and we're very happy to see that now they are moving in the direction that they are moving. it looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak and quite encouraged by the information that we have been getting. in order to address one of supervisor kim's questions, it is true that the majority of the commuter rails double-platform -- double-decker vehicles usually come in 25". however, there are manufacturers that make them 48". the same thing happens with high-speed rail. the most common is 48, but they also make them at a lower height. there is room for compromise. maybe there are less vendors, but they are available. >> can you complete your last sentence? >> as far as the diesel vehicles becoming obsolete, that is true. however, that wi

we're committed to come back to all of our funding partners and meeting with that mou group every single month, back to our board and back to any body that is interested in learning more. on the slideshows the timeframe of what we're doing now. we're doing the technical analysis of what the trains look like and what should be the trade-off that we look at? to come back with a trade-off assessment, so everybody understands what we could be asking for and what that means for the system? and then to have a policy decision in the may -- march to may timeframe. we're fully aware that all three counties are going to weigh in on this. as part of our procession of always letting people know what we're doing we meet every single month with elected officials from the 17 officials. we're going to continue to go back to our staff level groups and funding groups and this seems is a very good committee to stay in the loop, so everybody is informed at the end of the day and this is just starting point to layout what that analysis is. >> thank you for that. in terms of another point that had you raised

an mou is not a panacea. a memorandum of understanding or him argue with local law enforcement is often cited as a best practice and i agree that it can be helpful but entering into one is not always possible and in municipalities with larger jurisdictions may find themselves with many different mo used to contend with. there is no guarantee that a local law enforcement agencies will cooperate with an mou nor are there consequences if they do not. given the one-sided nature of an mou and the amount of time and resources it takes to secure and maintain one lawmaker should consider carefully as the mandate to enter into one. there are better less costly balance ways to achieve the same goals. in any case the penalty proposed up to 1% of the school's operating budget for failure to secure an mou goes too far for something so out of institutions control. although the legislation allows the department of education to waive the penalty of an institution demonstrates a good faith effort to give the department too mu
